Forum to boost farm disaster readiness

The Queensland Government will today hold a forum to help the agricultural sector better prepare for future natural disasters.

The meeting will include briefings by the Bureau of Meteorology and the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service.

State Agriculture Minister Tim Mulherin says recommendations from the floods inquiry will also be discussed.

"The commission of inquiry said that we should establish procedures to coordinate fodder drops to isolated landholders in future flood events and to ensure that rural communities are aware of the processes for fodder drops, so what we'll do today is set the process and develop the communication around this issue," he said.

The meeting will also discuss the lessons learnt during the flood and cyclone crisis last summer.

Mr Mulherin says the forum will ensure farmers are confident ahead of the wet season.

"I believe we're better prepared than ever before this summer," he said.

"We've had a massive effort across government and industry groups already underway for whatever [the] wet season throws at us.

"Today's forum will help in promoting preparedness across the whole agricultural industry and food supply chain across Queensland."
